We know, we know, this is a totally boring and very mother-like reminder. But while our dishtowels regularly go through the wash and our apron makes it there sooner or later, how often do we really re...
This little doohickey has one simple function: Catch the scraps you swipe off your countertop. While we think this is a serious unitasker and probably a totally unnecessary piece of plastic, we also f...
We were tired of our kitchen towels constantly slipping off the oven handle and winding up on the floor, so we devised this handy solution. It works quite well and we think it looks pretty cute, too!...
Q: My very favorite Le Creuset pan has gotten all scratched and stained. You can see a dark ring where the warming burner has burnt on a stain. Is this all patina, or can I remove it somehow? I have...
Q: I would like to find a kitchen soap dispenser that doesn't involve pushing a button or using pressure from your hands or fingers to get the soap to come out. I have arthritis in my hands and the bu...
Do you use a compost crock or slop pail in the kitchen? We love our stainless steel compost pail. We fill it up every week with vegetable trimmings before dumping a full load on the compost heap. It's...
We grew up with our mother always having a spoon rest on the stove. We were always fascinated with how useful they are, but always underwhelmed by how cheesy they can be. ...
Thanksgiving may be the biggest cooking day of the year, but it's the biggest washing up day of the year too! Between the roasting and the serving you've probably dirtied every pot, pan, and plate i...
Behind every good cook is a good knife! As we mentioned yesterday, our own beloved santoku knife almost never makes it into a drawer because we use it so much. As one of our most-used kitchen tools, o...
Q: My boyfriend's apartment doesn't have a dishwasher, and with all of his roomates living there, and everyone cooking each night, dishes are a real problem. There is limited counter space as well, so...
Here's something new: an undercounter vacuum for your kitchen! We couldn't quite believe this when we saw it, so we had to show it to you too. ...
One thing about cooking is it sure is messy! Even when we remember to wear an apron, we still wind up with splatters all over our sleeves. The very worst are the grease stains, which always seem total...
Given the amount of crumbs that get scattered, spoons that get dropped, and pans that get spilled in the course of a single cooking session, we could probably be cleaning our kitchen floor every day a...
If cooler weather means the more time doing cozy activities in the kitchen, it also heralds our annual nemesis: chapped hands. We use our hands constantly while we cook and wash them just as often. Ad...
Spacesaving, good-looking, genuinely functional dish racks are hard to find. This new folding dish rack from black + blum hopes to fill all those requirements, and more. ...
Growing up I was always fascinated by the family junk drawer found in my mother's otherwise very neat and organized kitchen. It contained all the miscellaneous kitchen stuff that didn't fit elsewhere...
We generate a lot of vegetable scraps and trimmings every week. They all end up the compost pile, eventually, but sometimes we don't have enough to go and dump them right away, and so they sit in an o...
Q: My girlfriend and I are moving in together. We both cook a lot and our new kitchen is tiny. We want a great trashcan that can take a lot of use, but that doesn't take up a big footprint in the kitc...
We've all been there. We're baking a fresh fruit pie or bubbly casserole, and we open the oven door to see that some of the filling has oozed over the edge of the pan - and right onto the oven floor. ...
We feel a little foolish, but we need your help with a problem that's been bugging us for quite some time. Strainers! No matter how thoroughly we think we've cleaned them, we always seem to find stray...
Sheila is looking for a better soap dispenser. Can you help? She writes:I'm looking for a good-looking dish detergent dispenser that I can keep on my kitchen counter that actually works. I want one th...
Here's a product for all of you in old tenement kitchens with ancient dishwashers. You know... those old, rusty dishwashers, with spikes of rusted metal creating tetanus hazards and rusty streaks acro...
We get a lot of questions about two things that tend to take up excess room in the kitchen: storage canisters and dish racks. We've explored dish racks with small footprints, but here's one that looks...
We have this pretty great arrangement whereby I keep a canister for kitchen scraps on my counter, and our neighbor, who has a small garden and compost bin behind her apartment, takes the scraps down e...
Please, just one! We've tried all sorts of mops, from those sponge-type ones to smaller home-versions of the industrial cotton string mop. They're unwieldy, messy, and half the time we just feel like ...
